    Supercharger - Auburn, CA - Lincoln Way (LIVE 29 Feb 2024, 16 Stalls)

    40% of new cars sold in Bay area are EVs. The number of SCs needed is always more.

    Supercharger - Fremont, CA - Thornton Ave. (Dale Hardware, under construction Jul 2023, 12 V3 stalls)

    3/1/24 no change. My last update on this one as we are moving out of the area.

    They all do. Tesla is using the CCS protocol to charge non Tesla. Vehicles just need to be approved by Tesla to charge on designated v3 chargers with an adapter.

    Finally! Dynamic Power Management for wall connector

    The Neurio is no longer sold. Any other load management device is available?

    Germany bans Cybertruck

    End of the day, trucks with giant hoods, soft or not, are not pedestrians friendly in case of crashes.

    Though lately Rivian updates have been problematic. :) Back to my initial point that each vehicle is a compromise of some sort.

    Dude, you are trolling. Camera resolution sucks and it's widely known. It's apparently a deal breaker for you and that's fine, but it appears that there are plenty of buyers willing to overlook that minor flaw. As for the rest of the tech, there is plenty to love, which is why I got one. SW is...

    Current Tesla and R1T owner and day 2 CT reservation holder. At current prices and specs, I see no reason to trade the R1T for a CT. I like the idea of strong body panels that won't dent, but other than that the R1T meets my needs. And the Rivian has the tunnel space to store a bunch of stuff...

    We have yet to find out what tires the range is based on. Guessing that the 340 miles is with All seasons, not AT tires, just like Rivian. At least with Rivian, one can lease the truck, get the $7500 credit and then buy it out. Also guessing that $80k CT is with base wheels not the AT upgrade...

    I believe that the price and income limits don't apply to leases. So, theoretically one could choose a pretty optioned R1T and still get the tax credit via a leas, and then buy it out

    Can't you do lease for the truck you want and buy it the next month to get the tax credit?

    The one thing I doubt is the range, battery is way smaller than on a Rivian and the CX is slightly worse on the CT. Can't wait for Kyle Conner to run his tests.

    Fully expect prices to come down significantly in the next 12-18 months. No way that they sell 250k CT a year at those prices after the die hard fans are done buying.

    Not mutually exclusive. Fast charging station of the future will be next to some convenience store if some kind

    One would think that Tesla and Starbucks would join forces to install SC along the freeway with a Starbucks next to it. Match made in heaven.

    Actually, didn't Tesla have a coming soon SC centered around Castro Valley a few years back?

    Quick and dirty math: Tesla is selling solar panels at $3 a W. That translates to around 7c a KWh over 20 years after tax credit. If adding a Powerwall, that's another 3 -7c a KWh depending on system size. Without full net metering it wouldn't be worth it if paying 15c a KWh.

    Superchargers in Northern California (location speculation)

    Actually, long term cost per KWH with solar is 8 to 12c. So, if you have full net metering it may still be worth it

    Well, whatever the reason for the depreciation, we gonna keep the X for a little while longer. We may look at an R1S as a replacement in the future, once they go NACS. We really enjoy the R1T.

    Not the issue in my case. My 6 seater X LR was $91k 4 years ago, which is a few $k more than today. The new platform has pushed the value of older X quite a bit down.
